Run on Vakyam · Enterprise Voice
The challenge
Patient call queues during morning hours exceed 20 minutes, causing high no-show rates when patients cannot reach clinics to cancel.
Clinic receptionists spend hours on the phone confirming appointments instead of attending to walk-in patients.
Legacy appointment reminder calls are static robocalls that cannot answer patient questions or reschedule dynamically.
